When the day is long and it seems like it wants to go on forever you look around feverishly for something to take your mind off of the day

As the day wares on and grates on your mind you start to believe that there really isn’t rest for the weary and it makes the day feel longer

When you look at the clock and it seems like it isn’t moving and all you hear is the Tick-Tock or see the red lights taking turns blinking of the clock on the wall and feel as if all you want to do is give up

After what seems like an eternity you look at the clock and you realize that the day is finally over and your mind is now at ease and as you start to relax the days despair starts fading while happier thoughts start filling your head

When your day finally comes to an end you feel more wound up then when you were during the long afternoon and you decide to go somewhere to unwind and share the waning hours of the day with friends who like you needed to go somewhere to unwind after a day you though would never end

In the stillness of the late night you can hear the overwhelming quietness that it almost seems like there is something just around the corner waiting to spring out at youIn the darkness you can hear all of the creaky boards in the floor and on the stairs that you normally cannot hear as you go about your day

In the darkness every small noise sounds like it is loud enough to wake the dead and it sounds like it is coming from everywhere yet from nowhere

The darkness gives life to even the smallest of shadows with the slightest hint of filtered light coming through the trees just outside the windows

As the night wares on, the moon makes its nightly appearance and as it peers through each window in turn, it slowly moves slowly across the night sky casting long dancing shadows everywhere

As the moon pierces the darkness the stillness of the nigh is only broken by the rustling of the wind through the trees that gives an air of spookiness to the stillness of the night

As the late night fades into the early morning, the stillness that once filled the air is now making way for the first stirrings of the early morning to bring on the day

On the lake at dusk, with the last fleeting rays of sun light glistening off of the waterYou hear the rustling of the small animals in the underbrush trying to find a place toLay their heads for their nightly slumber

As you walk to the waters edge to sit down and stare at the water, you hear the soft breezeTalking to you through the weeping willows at the waters edge telling you the bedtimeStories and singing you the lullabies you knew as a child, while the paper birch and the silverBirch who are out stretched over the water cast their dancing shadows in the fleetingOf the sunlight that they do every evening for the setting sun

As you watch the animals come out from the forest’s edge to the waters edge for their last drinkBefore their nightly slumber you watch as they share the same watering hole where hoursEarlier they scurried from each other

With the days warmth slowly fading, in the fleeting light you shutter as you take inThe last few breaths of the day’s warm air as you feel the suns warmth slowly fadeFrom head to toe in the twilight at dusk

As the gleam from the sun fades from the water you can see the hint of the moonsFirst light hit the water, trying to stretch across the water to meet the sun’s last raysAnd then one by one almost like a choreographed dance, the stars come out in turn dancingAround in the sky as the days final light fades over the horizon.

As twilight replaces the day’s light, the Breeze takes on the sounds of the night with the hootingOwls and the chirping crickets as background noises for the bedtime stories and lullabies that now appear to be louder than they had been before as the soft breeze begs to be heard

As the moment ends you rise to your feet, to keep from nodding off from the breeze telling you theBedtime stories and singing the lullabies with the musical ensemble of hoots and chirps in theBackground you look around and realize that the only thing that can compare to such a perfectEnd to a day is the dawn of a new day on the lake

As you start to walk you take in one last deep breath of the cool night air and say I wish I could stay past this moment on the lake and regret that I have to wait ‘til tomorrow to see this moment again

Sitting on the lakefront, there is beauty in the glistening calm water as the earlyMorning sun reflects off the lake that casts the rustic shadows, bringing back daysAnd memories that have long been forgotten

As you sit there looking at the outcroppings of the paper and silver Burch’s outstretchedAnd hanging low over the water, you hear the soft breeze talking to you through theBranches of the mighty weeping willows at the waters

As you sit there in the early morning mist that collects as the morning dew, you take inThe fresh morning air and feel renewed by everything around you, yet you can’t get upBecause it would mean leaving the serene tranquility of the moment

As the morning sun rises ever so slightly, waking the animals from their nightly slumberWith the lightening of the early morning shadows, you watch as they come out of their hidingSpots to take in their first drink of the day from the waters edge all the while watching what is going on around them as they drink

First you see the smaller animals that are quick to hide at the first sign of movement thenYou see the larger animals that will sometimes stop and look to see what is going on

As the moment comes to a close with getting up to take in one last look at everything onThe lake you only regret is that the moment had to end, but it allows you to walk away happy for you know that the beauty that you just witnessed will come again at the roughly theSame time tomorrow
